Nakaya Portable Cigar Spiketails w/ Medium CI nib

[Susan314109]

This listing is for an absolutely gorgeous and unique Nakaya fountain pen: the Portable Cigar Spiketails. What makes the Nakaya Spiketails so unique is that it is a hand-painted acrylic fountain pen. Unlike most Nakaya pens which are completely opaque, the Dragonfly is partially transparent with raised painted designs covered in semi-transparent red (Shu) Urushi lacquer. The designs are spectacular, to say the least.

The nib was a BB that has been ground to a medium italic. It's definitely a cursive italic and has a sweet spot, so if you don't like that, you can send the nib to a nibmeister to have it smoothed into a stub.

Asking $1050 Priority Mail with insurance included CONUS only. I will not ship such an expensive pen overseas. Sorry. I am not interested in trades at this time, and the price is firm. Payments through Paypal.

Do you know who did the grind? Gorgeous pen, best of luck with sale.

It was done at nibs.com, but I don’t know for sure if John did it or one of the trainees.
